And with systems like OKPay you can automatically convert the BTC to USD after every sale, so you have no risk of the exchange rate changing, because it has already been converted to USD in your wallet.

So as long as you use a processor that charges the equivalent of your charge in BTC at the current exchange rate and always convert the BTC to USD immediately after the sale the fluctuating exchange rate has hardly any influence.
Ah okay i was not aware BitPay did it like that. I was under the impression that they kept the funds in BTC until you executed a sell order to USD
